Improving the website

We're constantly working to improve materials.sandvik. In order to do this, we use Google Analytics, Hotjar to analyze our visitors' behavior on an anonymous and aggregate level.

Anonymous data

The information about your use of this website is transmitted to Google anonymously. We will not seek to link your IP address with any personal identifiable information about you. In fact, the last digits in your IP address will be truncated before it's sent to Google.

Aggregate reports

The behavioral data collected is processed to compile statistical reports on website activity. The intent is not to look at the behavior of an individual user. Instead, aggregate statistics are reported, like "How many users have used the top navigation during the last week?"

Reports like this are then used to help us take decisions about website improvements.

Analytics cookies

The analytics cookie is a first-party cookie, which means that it's set by materials.sandvik.
